In case of you were feeling that urge to partake in the flavor of the month and don't want to waste money, the linked thread already has the clean files and crack in multiple posts with multiple DL options.

Repeat after me: Our local Hexbear devs are the only ones that you shouldn't steal from.

Hope y'all enjpy the free game. It's like ark, but for people who value their time.

It looks too nihilistic in all the wrong ways for me, but I'm interested in what other people have to say about it. Always happy to see more monster games.

I agree the whole exploitation aspect is grim, but I feel the tone indicates its not meant to be taken at face value. It's like a cumtown bit as a game. except they made an actually good game underneath the "haha im so edgy + subversive" aspect that I totally understand if some feel goes too far.

Yeah! I'm in two minds about it, I don't like my first impression from the outside but am more than willing to be pleasantly surprised. So I'd love to hear some other peoples experience

dope stuff, hopefully other people that have braved the high seas chime in.

Im somewhat interested in the game but I dont really want to play an Early Acess game basically day 1. Even if its good. I would rather wait for the full game or half a year till the game got some more polish and features.

Hope those who decide to play it right now have fun

To each their own, I enjoy finding bugs. The “finished” version is forever, the buggy mess at launch is temporary

Yeah I get being there for a game day 1 can be "fun" BUT I only do that for games that I really care about and Palworld is just not that high on my list of games.

Honestly it probably has to do with me being a hater at heart.

I loved playing the early leaked starfield build. Shit was dumb as all hell, but the schadenfreude of Todd’s dream game being an absolute turd almost made up for Skyrim releasing in my teens and ES6 not having any chance of releasing until my 30s.

On a more positive note: the Vic3 leaks were better than the finished product. So getting in early can be good sometimes.

I am biased bc monster catchers and survival games are my favorite genres, but it feels like the dev team was split in half on wether they wanted to make an actually decent monster catcher or just fill it with edgy jokes. The base building and automation mechanics are really fun, but I wouldn't blame someone for being put off by the ""humor""
